I'm trying to think of reasons for why Facebook just locked my account and I'm struggling to come up with any ideas as why this happened. I want to find out why this happened to I can prevent it from happening again in the future. The account was being used for ads and I haven't gotten any emails regarding the temporary lock, it just came out of the blue.

The same thing happened to me a few days ago. In my country the ISPs don't offer static IPs (unless you ask for one) so after a disconnect my account was blocked. I've contacted Facebook and I've been waiting for 3 days for the respond.

There are several reasons to get your fb ads account locked1) if you don't use same ip which you have created the ads account
2) If you try to change payment method or even open the payment method section as soon as your approval
3) don't pause ad as soon as it gets approval
3) A new fb account

That would seem to be the reason. My router - which has a dynamic IP - did reset around the time FB disabled the account. That would be a REALLY stupid reason to block an account if it's true though. Sometimes my router will just reset by itself so I can see this being a pain in the ass if I have to get a new account every time it happens.
